What do you mean by “cuts the resolution” for modes 2 and 3? This would be the first I’ve heard of the RT2X manipulating the resolution before line-doubling.

As for Mode 1, I’m wondering if the RT2X isn’t setting HDMI flags correctly; the OSSC had a problem with 480i/576i passthrough until recently, where an unset or improperly set metadata flag was causing weird behavior with at least some AVRs (wavy or scrambled images, or no sync at all). I don’t have an RT2X, so I can’t test it with my known-affected setup; someone who has one and experienced that issue with the OSSC should give it a try, or perhaps Mike Chi has some insight into what the RT2X is doing in passthrough mode.

RT2X problems aside, knowing that you have an Xbox and the HD AV pack, why did you decide to go with an RT2X over an OSSC? The OSSC would let you enable 480p, 720p, and 1080i on your Xbox, which would result in far better capture quality.
